Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking Summary
| As the world fills up with ever more complicated recipes with never-ending ingredient lists, Michael Ruhlman blasts through the noise and takes us back to what is real: simple ratios that are the very ""truth"" of cooking - pie dough is 3-2-1 or three parts flour to two parts fart to one part water. Cookies are 1-2-3 or one part sugar, two parts fat, and three parts flour. Hollandaise sauce is 1 to 6: one pound butter to six egg yolks. Distilling dishes to their essence - a few basic techniques and even fewer ingredients - is what every cook needs to know, professional or amatuer - to create the cornerstone dishes of Western cooking. Broken down into 26 basic ratios, Ruhlman will teach us, for example, the basic craft of a hollandaise sauce (remember the 1 to 6 above?) and then show us that with a little vinegar and cracked pepper, it goes from craft to art....ALL without a recipe. |
